We are currently using deprecated/Clutter-specific API in Cogl to
retrieve the XVisualInfo associated with the (E)GLX context. Cogl 1.21.2
added new CoglRenderer API to achieve the same result.
We want to use the Cogl GL3 driver, if possible, and then go through a
known list of Cogl drivers, before giving up and using COGL_DRIVER_ANY.
Based on original patch from Emmanuele Bassi.
We have to create and tear down the whole context when trying
out the drivers though because the extension checks do not happen
until cogl_context_init.

The ClutterX11XInputEventTypes enumeration has been unused inside
Clutter for the past 4 years and a half, since we switched to the
XInput 2 API.
The enumeration itself has always been private, and nobody should
have used it in the first place, but if something breaks, we can
revert this commit.
They should be part of the backend-specific API.
The only backend that has an enumeration type is the X11 one, and it's
small, so we can simply put it there.
This is not an ABI change: the backend-specific symbols are still in
the same SO. You'll be required to import clutter-x11.h to have access
to the GType method at the source level, whereas before just importing
clutter.h would have sufficed. The only user of that enumeration was a
function declared in clutter-x11.h, anyway.
We're inconsistently using the NAMESPACE variable instead of passing
the --identifier-prefix and --symbol-prefix command line arguments to
the introspection scanner.
Now that we can warn about deprecated macros, we should finally do it
for the old, non-namespaced key symbol macros that we've been stringing
along since the 1.0 days.
We want to be able to deprecate macros, but right now the best we can do
is to wrap them with things like:
#ifndef CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
# define A_MACRO_I_WANT_TO_DEPRECATE ...
#endif
Which requires adding a new symbol to the build, and will cause a build
error instead of a compiler/pre-processor warning.
Fortunately, we can use the _Pragma() keyword introduced by C99 and
supported by GCC to add a warning to the output, while leaving the macro
itself intact.
GCC does not have a "deprecated" pragma, so we have to use a generic
warning; this also means we cannot do nifty things like concatenating
strings and the like, as we do for the "deprecated" attribute.
The macro deprecation symbol should have the same affordances as the
function deprecation one, and evaluate to nothing if the required
version is lower than the current version; or if the global toggle for
deprecation warnings is in effect.
